Antilohyrax was a genus of herbivorous mammal belonging to the order Hyracoidea. Fossils were found in 1983 in Egypt, 46 m above the bottom of the Jebel Qatrani Formation. The species Antilohyrax pectidens had an approximate weight of 33–35 kg. It had features not seen in other hyraxes, including a "broad hyper-pectinate comb-like first incisor" on its lower jaw, selenodont molars and a rostrum similar to that seen in even-toed ungulates.{{cite journal | jstor=4524200 | title=Cranial and Dental Anatomy of Antilohyrax pectidens: A Late Eocene Hyracoid (Mammalia) from the Fayum, Egypt | author=Donald D. de Blieux and Elwyn L.
